Last year, the biggest insult Anthony Albanese could throw at Malcolm Turnbull in the Parliament was to liken him to Latham. One election we voted for him, this election he’s working for 60 Minutes.

Those on the Left find it comforting to occupy the superficially moral high ground. It’s impregnable and self-congratulatory up there. The rest of us have to take account of consequences. That’s the price of being grown up.
The on, off, and on again, ‘real and genuine friendship’ between Julia and Kevin is a marvellously enigmatic story that may yet have more twists and turns to further confuse and confound Tony Abbott and swing the election.
Australia’s much better economic performance is down to other things and the problem for the Labor government is not being able to claim credit for any of this. And Gillard wants to debate it!
Mills and Boon should take note when Julia leaves politics. Her ability to construct plausible political tall tales depicting her heroic qualities might be fodder for a new book series.
In only four weeks as prime minister Gillard has instigated a deeply flawed process of deciding Australia’s taxation policy; presided over the Dili diplomatic fiasco; and proposed a ‘citizens’ assembly’ charade. She also seems to have trouble with the truth.
If only Kevin had listened to Julia in the first place. Why did Mr Rudd ignore her sensible advice?
The economy would now be stronger, if it had not been ‘stimulated’. Interest rates would be lower and builders and others occupied on redundant make-work projects would be employed more productively.

When you put together Gillard’s inexperience with her record – Medicare Gold, the BER and now the Dili solution - and her complicity in all of Rudd’s disasters, it is nothing short of astounding that she may become an elected Prime Minister. What is going on? Are we to get the government that the media thinks we deserve?
